Everton boss Sam Allardyce: 'Majority of the fans are behind me'

Everton manager Sam Allardyce has dismissed the notion that the majority of the club's supporters want him to leave Goodison Park this summer.

The former England boss insisted that only a small minority of supporters are "sceptical" about the Blues' current management setup.

"I don't really talk about my prudentials or non-prudentials outside of the fact that I do the job to do the best of my ability," the Liverpool Echo quotes him as saying.

"Listening to what's happening outside has a detrimental effect on you, good or bad, and my job is to accept what people think I am and who I am and I can't change that because it's happened over a long period of time.

"There are sceptical fans everywhere and there are very few of them at the moment," he added. "You're talking about the minority instead of the majority."

Recent reports suggest that Everton could replace Allardyce with Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Paulo Fonseca this summer.
